MDC Suggestions

[Augustus]

Hey folks, Augustus here.

 

I figured I'd throw a thread up to outline some suggestions I've been thinking about pertaining to the MDC. I want to start out by saying that it's an awesome system, and I'm glad to be able to use such a beautiful piece of work.

 

To better help those from the two Law Enforcement factions on the server, here are some things I believe could 'spice things up' a bit.

 

• Separate tab for active wants/warrants
  • In order to better promote the usage of the DoJ court system & application for criminal warrants, and the execution of said warrants, an available, comprehensive list of active warrants could be of great use.
  • Each warrant should include the warrant itself, and the name of the individual wanted.
  • This would better help distinguish an APB(on-view or immediate knowledge want of persons) and those who have had an arrest warrant placed on them by an active magistrate or judge, and also allow for personnel from either agency to pursue said persons without coincidentally finding them on MDC.
  • Warrants could be RED for outstanding and GREEN for served. 
  • Each warrant, when attached to a person's MDC file, could automatically file into the active warrants tab.
  • Outstanding fines could be considered 'bench warrants' as is most common in the US, and could also show up under the tab.
• Separate tab for stolen property(vehicles & firearms)
  • This would allow for officers to better track down stolen weapons and vehicles. Currently, there is no VIN system, so the roleplay of the person who stole a vehicle's roleplay is the sole identifier if a vehicle is stolen. A system that mitigates this would greatly help those in the field.
• Incident Reports / Generic Reports
  • When arriving on a 911 call in the real world, officers create police reports starting with parties involved, situation, and how the situation was handled.
  • An incident report section(that does not attach to a person, rather an agency(SD/PD) would allow for Deputies or Patrol Officers to create a report regarding each situation.
  • This would help aid those in minor collisions, those involved in court, and much more, with physical/tangible documentation pertaining to their involved incidents available from the responding agency.
  • Responding officers may also roleplay handing out a card with the 'report number' involved on it.
  • Report types could be:
    • Accident Report
    • General Report
    • Investigative Report
    • Special Report
• 911 Call Log additions
  • In absence of an actual dispatcher, units could be able to click on the 911 call through the log and assign themselves as a responding unit. They may 'cancel' themselves from the call, and upon clicking 'cancel', their name becomes red/gray'd out to reflect this.
  • Allowing units to assign themselves would help the Sheriff's Department and Police Department prioritize their activities and know if there are already units on the way/on scene.
  • 911 Calls that have been tended to should be able to be deleted from the 'active 911 call map', but retain on the log, becoming grey'd or red-out.
• Agency report/documentation list
  • For supervisors of either agency, an available list of logs/documentation/citations created by their personnel in order of time created could assist in quality control & auditing.

 

While I understand the effort & time placed or put into the coding regarding the system, I believe that with any of these additions, roleplay for both and in tandem with the LSSD and LSPD would be exponentially aided in a realistic manner.

 

Hope to see everyone's thoughts!

I agree with all of the above.
